vision-app Announces Its Products are "Citrix Ready"

FRANKFURT AM MAIN / ORLANDO, Florida - February 1, 2007 - vision-app, the specialist in server-based IT solutions, announced today that it has accepted an invitation to Citrix’s “Citrix Ready” initiative, signifying that its products are certified for a Citrix environment. The “Citrix Ready” initiative helps customers identify products and solutions that add the greatest value in Citrix-driven environments and offer an addi-tional measure of confidence in the solution quality.

Designed for Citrix from the outset, both of visionapp's flagship prod-ucts, Platform Management Suite and Access Portal, have been success-fully tested with Citrix Presentation Server™ and Citrix Password Man-ager™. "We are very excited about the value that visionapp products deliver to our Citrix Application Deployment solution," said David Jones, Corporate Vice President, Business Development for Citrix.
visionapp offers cutting-edge products to manage the lifecycle and ap-plication access management for Citrix and Windows server farms. While boosting agility and competitiveness, visionapp products reduce costs and complexity.

visionapp Platform Management Suite (vPMS) ensures cost-effective, reliable and revision-secure administration of the application infrastruc-ture and thus provides an efficient, high-performance tool for lifecycle management. As an automated deployment and change management solution for Citrix server farms, vPMS provides a self-documenting sys-tem and enables administrators to design, deploy, expand, maintain, and upgrade server farms from a central console.

visionapp Access Portal (vAP), a web-based application access portal, offers a cost-effective, flexible alternative to the standard desktop for secure, reliable and standardized access to centralized applications. With its portal-based application delivery functionality, vAP enhances and extends Citrix Web Interface, thus making it very easy for administra-tors to manage application access and permissions, complement the published applications through upload and download centers, and a sys-tem status display, and migrate settings for their applications from one Presentation Server version to another.

One key value-add of visionapp’s products is their close mapping to key technology partners’ products. "visionapp products are closely aligned to Citrix´s and Microsoft’s roadmaps, allowing customers to leverage their latest, most sophisticated tools and easily include new Citrix and Micro-soft features in their server stacks. The modular architecture of our management console, visionapp Control Center, makes it easy for us to update the tools and support current and future technologies," said Christa Anderson, visionapp’s Strategic Technology Manager.

visionapp is strongly committed to its technology partners. “Our partici-pation in the Citrix Ready initiative highlights our commitment to Citrix and the market space of high quality solutions for creating and operat-ing dynamic application delivery platforms," said Frank Roth, Managing Director, International Sales and Global Marketing for visionapp.
As a member of the Citrix Ready Program, visionapp will offer product information and a guide to integration with Citrix technology through the Citrix Ready catalog. This information will be available to customers and members of visionapp’s fully certified, professional partner network.
